Features: The Warring States period was one of the most turbulent yet creative turning points in ancient Chinese history. The division of Jin by the three states of Han, Zhao, and Wei marked the beginning of feudal society in China; the struggle for dominance among the seven states played out a grand and magnificent historical melody of that era. Two hundred years of swords and horses, two hundred years of flames and smoke, two hundred years of rapid social change, two hundred years of scholars and generals—after two hundred years of turmoil, the echoes still linger, leaving much for later generations to ponder and reflect upon.
